The next couple weeks of NXT are going to be preempted and airing on the USA Network on Tuesday, September 1st and Tuesday, September 8th. The SyFy Network will then be airing replays of the shows on Wednesday, September 2nd and Wednesday, September 9th. Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer commented on this development.

“I asked somebody there, and it’s like, ‘We can’t let them go unopposed because what if?’ What if? You know what I mean?”
Meltzer speculated that there is a feeling within WWE that if AEW’s numbers without competition from NXT head-to-head were too big, people would look at the product a different way. WWE is making this move because they don’t want AEW Dynamite to run fully unopposed on the next two Wednesday nights.
NXT recently ran unopposed to AEW Dynamite the last two weeks as the show was preempted due to the NBA playoffs on TNT.
